Don’t hesitate to take this tour it’s worth every minute of travel time. The bus ride is pleasant as the bus is very comfortable with large panoramic windows. There is beautiful scenery on the trip to st Moritz and the tour guide is humerous and knowledgeable. St Moritz shops were mostly closed due to it being off season, however we had a wonderful lunch and a beautiful walk. You are seated with your tour group on a separate panoramic Bernina train car and the ride is amazing. Don’t worry too much about what side of the train to sit on as the windows are massive and you can see the scenery from both sides. Also the train is slow moving so if you are seated traveling backwards it’s not a problem if you have motion sickness. The seat stress is unfounded. The return bus ride also was pleasant and comfortable and you are dropped off at the starting point by 9:00 pm. Would give this tour a 10 out of 10.

Incredible scenery, excellent service, Mario, our guide, was great, both in the explanations and in providing us help and suggestions to take advantage of the tour. A few days earlier there was a fire in the area, so the train did not reach Tirano, that is, the final part of the route was missing, as a precaution, but we did it by bus and in compensation we had a slightly more extensive stop in Tirano. Worth it, I recommend it!

Mario is an excellent guide, with lots of interesting information and anecdotes which he gave us throughout the whole day! And, our bus drivers were great. The rest/lunch stop on our way up was just right, with lots of tasty options. On the Bernina Express we enjoyed wonderful scenery in the panoramic car (windows that curve up into the top of the car for maximum viewing). The railroad is an amazing feat of engineering! That being said, here are two improvements I recommend to the rail line. 1. Refit the car with seats that all face the direction of travel (moveable backs for the change of direction at each end of the route). 2. Being a UNESCO Heritage site, there is so much more information that the downloadable audio guide could supply, along with appropriate music between the commentary, and the use of modern GPS technology so the information they supply is actually coordinated with the areas in which we travel. Here are two things to know about this Viator trip. 1. Be aware that, because there is just one set of tracks between stops, there are numerous times when the train needs to pull over and wait for trains traveling the same tracks the other direction. 2. This particular tour only does the 2 hour train from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy. If you want to see the Landwasser Viaduct, you need to sign up for a tour with the complete 4 hr Chur, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy train route. Now, last but not least, if you take this tour, when you're in St. Moritz I recommend the upstairs of La Stalla restaurant for a meal (we had a delicious cheese fondue). The wait staff is very friendly and the decor is cozy Swiss. 👍

Overall it was a nice experience. The time will pass quite mostly only by sitting in the bus or on the train and 2 hours in Saint Moritz. I would rather depart earlier and have more time in S Moritz. It started at 9.15 from Milano and we arrived to S Moritz at 13:15 and the train was at 15:30 but you need to be at the train station at 15:00 with the group so also you can choose a nice seat. Then we arrived to Tirana about 18 and arrived to Milano at 21:30. The people who joined this were mostly families and old couples. We were two friends 30yo but it was super nice. Special thanks to our guide Alessandra and our drivers they were always so nice and understanding.

The tour is very nice, with amazing scenery. It takes a bit long to turn by micro from Tirano to Milan (3 hours. Approx by bus). They should do it by train or start the activity earlier. But back from St. Louis. Moritz to Tirano from 2:30 am. On the Bernina Express train it is beautiful and made very enjoyable due to the views from both sides. And St. Louis. Moritz is very pretty. It is a tour I recommend but not with young children as it is a 13 hour tour.

Great opportunity to see the Lake Como area, the Italian & Swiss Alps, have lunch in San Moritz, and ride the premier Bernina Express (not the regular trains use the same rails), all in a 12-hour day. Alexandra was a first-class and very organized guide who gave just enough information in both English and Italian. Those considering this adventure should be aware that there aren’t bathrooms on the buses, so be prepared to ride 2-3 hours without a break. Not a complaint; just a fact.
